Racing Beat exhaust pics
 
I looked around and could not find any pictures of the Racing Beat axle back exhaust posted anywhere. So forgive me if I missed them, but if I didn't, here are a few shots of mine that I installed today.

that muffler looks pretty. :drool: do you have any pictures of the complete system? how is the sound compared to stock? any droning at high way speeds? (sorry for the 20 questions, but no one has really bought and posted about the system befor)

All I bought was the axle back and not the full cat-back exhaust which includes two other pieces. As you can see from the picture it is just a direct bolt on replacement for the stock muffler. In case anyone is wondering, this is the same exhaust that mazdastuff.com is selling.

Since I've only had it for a day, I'll give you my brief notes.

It is far deeper than stock. Barely audible at idle and really not all that loud even when being pushed. As a matter of fact I think I can hear my AEM short ram a little more when stepping on it. I personally really like the sound because it sounds far better than stock, but is not going to piss off the neighbors.

I've noticed no droning so far on the freeway. I can just barely detect the added sound when cruising at 75-80mph. But liek I said...this is only my first day with it. Hope this info helps.

Hey Jhatfi, how much coin did that cost, and where did you locate it at. It looks damn slick and if it sounds like you describe it then I want one. The last thing that I wanted for an exhaust is the mad hornet muffler a la honda civics.

I will reiterate, nice muffler:cool: .

I bought it at www.mazdastuff.com for the cool price of $195.00
It only took about 4 days to show up at my house. So far I recommend it. Took only about 30 minutes to install and 10 minutes of that was trying to wrench off those stupid stock 14mm nuts that must have been put on with 200ft/lbs of torque.

Does anyone know how large the pipe dia is ( I think I read somewhere 2.25") and if that is a good size pipe for a turbocharger later in the future (couple years in future, I am going travelling first).
